Right-Wing Supreme Court Justice Will Not Seek Reelection

I'm Dan Schaefer, let's recombobulate.

Big political news dropped the Friday

before Labor Day weekend in Wisconsin

with right wing state Supreme Court justice Rebecca Bradley

announcing that she will not be seeking re-election

to another 10-year term on the court.

In her statement announcing the decision,

Bradley bemoaned a quote shift

from thoughtful principal judicial service

toward bitter partisanship, personal attacks,

and political gamesmanship.

If you followed Bradley's time on the bench,

you couldn't help but note the hypocrisy

in that statement.

Because that's the exact kind of extreme,

toxic approach she's brought to the Wisconsin Supreme Court

over the past decade.

But beyond that, this sets up yet another open race

for state Supreme Court in Wisconsin.

This one, however, will be a bit different

than recent races where majority control

of the court was on the line.

In this race, liberals will have the opportunity

to expand their majority from four to three to five to two

if candidate Chris Taylor, a former Democratic state legislator,

wins the election in spring, 2026.
